Loved the pics....they are soooo cute. I remember the first year we had a tree up with my poor kitty I lost last year. She clear it of all of the balls on it within the first 15 minutes....then a couple of the ornaments were wrapped in satin thread, which she proceeded to unravel....all over the house....lol

@ Jase - Awwww, thanks hon! They just make me laugh - I can't help but encourage their bad behavior - lol.

@ Jude - I'm not sure I could handle an entire year of this. :D

@ Julia - Will there be holiday puppy pics, I hope? :)

@ Kevin - I'm so sorry about your kitty. *hugs* I'm glad you have so many good memories of her.

@ Sal - I thought the same thing about the ornament looking like a halo! And she's sooooooooooo far from an angel! And I'm SO glad she doesn't have wings - angel *or* dragon! I'd really be in trouble then! (Well, you know...more so than I already am.)

Okay, I have four of the little cuters and they don't seem to have it in their head to climb anything, though we'll see. Last year they were still little so maybe with a year under their belt, they'll figure it out. Here's hoping my malamute doesn't decide to join them.

And I am dreading putting up my tree with two just-out-of-knickers kittens in my house. This will be their first Christmas, so I am planning to put ONLY lights on the tree, and save my glass antique ornaments from utter destruction.

I keep my handy-dandy long-distance spray bottle of vinegar water at my side at all times. I have ALMOST got the little debils trained to stay off my knick-knack shelves and off my kitchen counters and dining table. They have free run of the main portion of the house as long as they stay off the food surfaces and out of my antique shelves. GRRRRR.

Love the Pics! :) I have some from last year with our terrors in it and they look almost like your kitties too lol. We got a real tree this year and they can't quiet get up into it as easy lol. But they aren't giving up!Jane in Texas

Those pictures are wonderful. Reminds me of our outdoor cat with her pretty face. I read somewhere that outdoor cats only have a third of the lifespan of indoor cats, so Lily became an indoor cat again. So far she's behaving really well. Funny thing-I'm not a cat lover, so why am I surrounded by three cats and a naughty shih tzu? They make life fun, don't they? Peg

So in their eyes, Christmas came early and sticks around for an entire month? Cool...

Oreo has inspected the tree, swatted at the soft ornaments at the bottom, and then pretty much ignores it now.

The puppy on the other hand has made several trips around the tree. I made sure no breakables went on it this year, in case her enthusiasm knocks it over (we're pretty sure her tail ought to be on the 'lethal weapon' list, ha ha!)

Haaa! Your kitties are so cute! All the same, I'm glad that my cats are fat and lazy. The most they do is fight for control of the christmas tree skirt and occasionally play with the low hanging ornaments.
